I appologise if this has been discussed before but I have just been using Addictive drums on my PC and it sounds so awesome. I know that my fave ios drum app is Drumperfect pro but I cannot seem to be able to map the sounds to my Akai MPD218 controller.
Is there eithar an app that sounds as good as both but will let me use this controller or if anyone knows of a workaround for the Drumperfect app to let me map the pads where I want them?
I was considering sampling into beatmaker etc, but thats going to be some work i think. . . . .

A lot of samplers have velocity layers and round robin for samples, not sure if any can do them both at the same time tho. MPCs for example have only 4 samples you can round robin, put to different velocities or just layer.

You should be able to map your MPD to Drum Perfect Pro kits. Go to the kits tab and select an instrument (Kick, Snare, etc.). At the bottom-right, you'll see a Learn button to set the MIDI note. Repeat for all instruments, then save the kit with a name that identifies it as being mapped to the MPD.

You will need to go to Settings and enable the MPD input if you haven't already. Also, by default DPP only listens on channel 10, so you may need to long-press its button on the settings page and enable the channel(s) you need.

If the MPD is outputting on a different channel for each pad then this might not work. In that case you'll need something like mfxConvert to change the channel/note, or to use the MPD setup software to change the outputs.

I have been trough a similar thought process and started out by practicing with the abbey road samples that came in the Komplete Select bundle that came with my Maschine MK3. They have been OK as starting kits, but now I am at a point where I want some really great sounding drums to play whole songs with max grooviness.

I have been looking into the Full Komplete Abbey Road kits and found that they might require some tweaking to sound optimal. Found this video about them. Revisiting Abbey Road & Studio Drummer - YouTube

I have also been trying out different demo kits where available. So far I do like the sound of Addictive Drums 2, and feel like the dynamics in their kits make it easier to play great sounding accents and ghost nodes. Waiting for a sale, and trying to figure out which of their kits to get.
